Ryan Reynolds admitted that he once committed an “inexcusable” deed of playing dumb after his phone’s ring tone disrupted Denzel Washington’s acting on set. The Deadpool actor recalled the moment Friday at the Toronto Film Festival while promoting his documentary, John Candy: I Like Me. Reynolds 48, angered his co-star Washington, 70, while filming the 2012 action thriller Safe House. The disturbance took place during the filming of a very emotional final scene when a cellphone’s ringtone went off. “He’s been shot, wounded, dying, admits all the stuff that he did wrong. Tears start rolling down his face,” Reynolds recalled. “And suddenly you hear—and this is take two, by the way, because take one there was a technical problem—we hear [Frank Sinatra singing] ‘Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.’” According to Reynolds, the Malcolm X star yelled “Who the f---’s phone is that?” The Sinatra song was Reynold’s ringtone at the time, but the Red Notice star said he played dumb. “I stand up and look at all the stuntmen around me, and I go, ‘Who the f---’s phone is that? Inexcusable!’” he said. The Daily Beast has reached out to Washington’s representative for comment.
